British retail giant Mark and Spencer manufacture the exclusive range of 'Nearly Naked' lingerie that blends perfectly with any woman's skin and appears invisible under clothes.

18 pounds Invisible bra

While other attempts at making 'nude' underwear have tended to take a one-colour-fits-all approach, the 18-pounds 'invisible' bra comes in four shades to match a range of skin tones.

Ethnic skin tones

The company scanned the skin tones of more than 1,000 customers. The results were then compared with ethnicity data from the Office for National Statistics to select colours that were an exact match for human skin.

Disappearing act under the cloths

"Women are recognising the need to wear a neutral-coloured bra which complements their own skin tone and can create a 'disappearing act' under clothes," said Soozie Jenkinson, head of lingerie design for M and S.

From 32A to 40D with matching panty

The bra is available in sizes 32A to 40D. The range also includes matching briefs for 8 pounds.
